Uni blues.

I've got the "I have a stats test tomorrow and barely understand a thing" blues. Luckily we're allowed to take cheat notes in so I may at least get marks for the right formula...if I can figure out which is the right one.
Poooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo. I've tried to study but it makes me feel bad. Still I guess it's stopping me from thinking about the terrible state the planet is in.

I planted a new Grevillea out the front. Grevillea rhyolitica - it's endangered where it comes from but is available as a garden plant. It comes from near the coast over east so hopefully it will be a good replacement for the one that just died out the front.

The Lord Mayor of Sydney has made a bold move in council meetings by trying to make sustainable choices when it comes to food choice. She is going for more sustainable fish choices, not using chocolate that enslaves children in its production and organic over conventional produce from local farmers where possible. Brave move and highly controversial as far as all those gooses with their heads in the sand thinking there is nothing wrong with the way the human species behaves.

Greville hedge at Mike's.

Planted a hedge of Grevillea at a client's house, as a privacy screen.. It includes G. Winpara Gem, G. "Apricot Glow" and G. "Honey Gem".

Getting into planting some natives.

On this fine Monday (kind of my Sunday), I have planted a few more bird-attracting plants, which also happen to be pretty and drought hardy once established.
These were a dwarf Banksia, a rescued, broken Grevillea Winpara Gem, a Dryandra nivea and some mystery low-growing Grevillea that I'm hoping will handle coastal conditions out the front.
Finally the pepino dulce plant has been put in too.
There has been a bit of rain recently, so the ground isn't bone dry, which is great. The other grevilleas that that have been in for a month or so are all looking good. Some have even started to flower.
It's a great time to be planting. The soil is still warm and there's a bit of sun, but the rain has been as well, with, hopefully more to come.

Grevillea Coastal Glow - Aussie native plant.

This plant is excellent near the coast. Not many Grevilleas would do so well with the limestone and the ocean winds. This one has stayed fairly short and has spread out instead. It flowers for many months of the year. The honeyeaters love it.
